Our Work

‘Meeting the needs of people in crisis and giving hope to the most vulnerable in our Society’

For the past nine years Compassion in Action have met the needs of people in crisis with provision of furniture, food and clothes, accommodation, skills training, education and advocacy. We have a holistic approach to a person’s life in crisis, helping people to live independently from total dependency.

We are currently regenerating sites across the borough in partnership with private investors, Wigan Council and the local community. The formerly derelict site at Patrick House is now a vibrant centre for residents, Third Sector partners and health providers.

One of our new projects – ‘Rainbow Eco Farm’ – will be opening later in the year.

The diversity of our charity is founded on the belief that every person can contribute to their own well-being and become a valued member of the community.
